[CLOSED] La Luce 18Parc SCBD Jakarta

October 12th, 2013. I tried a new place to eat. La Luce. Their tagline is Wine and Dine. Yup, it's a fine dining place. I went there for lunch. The place was very classy. Located in Tower C 18  Parc Office Building, La Luce was a very strategic place to have some meetings or just lunch with friends.

La Luce is an Italian restaurant in Jakarta which offers a wine and dine experience in a cozy and elegant ambiance. Located in the strategic Sudirman Central Business District (SCBD) area, La Luce serves modern Italian cuisine from various regions and the best selections of wine from all over the world – carefully designed to give you a delightful, unforgettable modern Italian dining experience.

La Luce’s interior is designed with an open kitchen that allows customers to feel the passion of food preparation; spacious windows that welcome natural lights in the daytime; and vibrant bar for a relaxed atmosphere in the evening. Our private room is designed to serve your needs for elegant privacy and comfortable ambiance. With unsurpassed hospitality and attentive service, La Luce is committed to make your visit exceptionally special.

Their menu was covered by a leather. Looks very cool.

Complimentary Bread Sticks

Mocktails

Ginger Sour 35k

Ginger Ale with Sour Mix. This one was so refreshing. No wonder it's in the mocktails menu with tagline: thirst quenching drinks. Hahaha.. I don't really like sour taste, but the golden color really caught my eyes, and made me forget about the sourness.

Lychee soda 40k

Lychee Fruit, mint leave, Lychee syrup, lemon juice & Club soda. For me, lychee is a must-try beverages in every place. And I found this lychee soda so sensual. It was sweet and sour mix together with a little exotic touch. But I prefer a little less mint leaves.

Set Lunch 2 courses (Starter+MainCourse) 195k

Starter

Carpaccio di branzino

Marinated sea bass carpaccio, celery and orange. Carpaccio is a dish of raw meat or fish (such as beef, veal, venison, salmon or tuna), thinly sliced or pounded thin and served mainly as an appetizer. In this menu, they used sea bass. This sea bass tasted good. The pretty appearance from celery and orange made this menu taste more delicious.

Main Course

Pancetta arrosto

Crispy pork belly, roasted vegetables. Pancetta arrosto means roasted bacon. My hubby said the pork belly was delicious. Actually, for me, it's a little bit too dry. But it was delicious, indeed.

Set Lunch 2 courses (Main Course+Dessert) 195k

Main Course

Tagliata di manzo

Wagyu beef Tagliata, grilled vegetables. Actually, I prepared myself for a very ordinary wagyu beef. But surprisingly, the wagyu beef was so delicious. Tagliata di manzo means cut of beef. That's why the wagyu beef was served slice by slice. The cute thing was the cauliflower. It was purple. Oh I love purple hehehehe

Dessert

Scelta dal carrello

Homemade cake selection or tart from our daily selection. We chose 2 cakes. Cheesecake and Rum Baba. The cheesecake was quite good because their cheese wasn't sour. I never like cheese in a cake. Cheese for me is delicious only on food not desserts hihihi.. The Rum Baba was delicious too but I think they didn't soak the cake in rhum long enough to make it richer.

Ala Carte

Chitarra 145k

Homemade Spaghetti, San Danielle, Cherry tomato and Basil. I didn't really fond of this one. Too sour for me. I prefer creamy spaghetti hihihi.. Btw, the San Danielle is a pork ham. Cool, aight? :D
